  Nope, you are.  Cygwin-whine-complain-moan-grumble is over that-a-way ---->

  However, while we're here, the answers to your questions are:

  LicensOR is allowed to distribute licensOR's own copyrighted software any
damn way LicensOR wishes, since GPL obligations apply to licensEE.  Guess
RedHat has decided not to sue itself gratuitously.

  Yes it is.

  Guess what's in the tarball, Gary!  Yes, you thought it was just the
executable, only zipped up to make it three times bigger than the raw binary,
but no!  It's the source!
